I don't know about the dots, but that looks like a well-designed intersection from the standpoint of traffic calming.

Polka dots seem appropriate for Austin.

I hate four way stop signs.

I guess they don't have buses or larger delivery trucks in that neighborhood, because they just removed the turn radius for anything larger than a Fiat or a bicycle. Maybe that was the idea. But in heavy traffic, they have created gridlock while larger turning vehicles have to wait for cross traffic to clear before making a turn.

But it's pretty.

When did people become unable to cross the street without having a nervous breakdown?

Althouse, Austin is also building a tunnel under Waller Creek to divert stormwater (and hopefully reclaim land in a 100 year flood plain). Similar to your Copenhagen and New Orleans stories.

Hicks and Austin? Often not together.

Anthony म्हणाले...

Ditzy liberal urbanites need pretty things to help them do basic day-to-day tasks. And government employees need something to do.

William म्हणाले...

It's a good idea. It makes the turf look less ominous while heightening awareness of its risk.

Where's Lazlo to talk about somebody named Poon.
